Mr. S. Tanaka, Shizuoka, Japan, collected plants of 5 additional 
species in Japan, and forwarded them to us through the Yokohama 
Nursery Company. 
The Oregon Bulb Farms, Boring, Ore., gave us 24 bulbs each 
of 25 varieties of Bulbous Iris, including Spanish and Dutch. 
Three new beds were prepared on the grounds and planted to 
the Tall Bearded Iris; many of the newer varieties were included 
in these plantings. 
TREES AND SHRUBS 
During 1933 we have obtained a few additional plants from 
nearby nurseries. Species which can be obtained from American 
nurseries are now nearly all represented in our Garden, A num- 
ber of trees and shrubs not obtainable in this country were im- 
ported from I*rance (Lemoine), Germany (Hesse), and England 
(Veitch); also bulbs from Holland (Van Tubergen). Rare 
plants were obtained by exchange from the Arnold Arboretum, 
soyce Thompson Institute, U. S. Department of Agriculture, 
from Mr. Clarence Lewis, and from the Long Island estate of 
Mr. Anton Hodenpyl. Clematis and other plants were obtained 
from Mr. J. E. Spingarn. Mrs. Nathan S. Jonas presented a 
large conservatory collection, chiefly orchids. 
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden now has a comprehensive col- 
lection of trees and shrubs. l*urther development must be largely 
of species which require some special attention, for example, as to 
soil requirements, moisture or shade, or special winter protection. 
A part of the nursery has been set aside for experimenting with 
such plants. 
Irom our present list of desiderata of trees and shrubs may be 
mentioned :
